About Us

Whatever the need, IVY ED is ready to partner with you in building your child’s future

IVY ED prides itself on understanding the specific needs of each and every student. We hold the belief that every child can learn. IVY ED recognizes the effectiveness of the Ontario education system, but also identifies that problems can arise when teacher-to-student ratios become unbalanced. Without personal attention, students develop gaps in their learning: gaps that need to be filled to ensure a continuous positive learning experience.

IVY ED Employs Ontario Certified Teachers

Can you imagine the benefit of your child addressing their individual needs with a classroom teacher? Your child will be working with the ultimate insider and receiving guidance from teachers working and grading within the school system. Our teachers know what it takes to achieve better grades because they hand them out every day.

IVY ED Uses Ontario Curriculum

IVY ED does not rely on a self-created curriculum because we understand that every student learns differently. We use the Ontario curriculum to design specialized programs for each of our students that will meet their specific needs. Upon enrolling in the IVY ED program, we establish a partnership together to achieve a common goal. We will be there with you through every assignment and every test. Best of all, we will celebrate with you when your child brings home an improved report card. At IVY ED, your child’s success is our success.

Our History

IVY ED Learning Centres is owned and operated by a certified teacher with over twenty-five years of experience at every level of our education system. His experience and knowledge forms the core for how IVY ED functions as a learning centre.

Why is IVY ED successful? We combine the most up-to-date technology and resources with certified teachers to offer a program that is as unique as your child. We provide a positive and encouraging experience that builds your child’s confidence and fundamental skills that will help them succeed.

IVY ED is ready to partner with you in building your child’s future.

How Tutoring Works

IVY ED Has the Answer: A Time-Proven System that Works.

At IVY ED, our focus is to achieve immediate success but also to help develop a pattern of success that will last a lifetime.

What separates us from others is our unique approach to learning.

Identifying Your Child’s Specific Needs

The process that takes place before any intervention begins is just as important as the program itself:

Parent-Director consultation.

Administration of the relevant student assessment tasks.

Creation of a student profile based on the consultation and the results of the assessment.

Presentation of recommendations for the student program.

Scheduling and commencement of the program.

The student assessments and personal interviews help to determine your child’s academic strengths and needs. The assessment creates an academic profile of your child that is used to develop an individualized program.

Successful tutoring is a balance of intervening, mentoring, and exploring along with the continuous re-evaluation and adjustments to the overall process.

Individualized Programs and Personal Attention for Your Child

IVY ED does not rely on a self-created curriculum because every child learns differently. We recognize that there are no cookie-cutter solutions to efficient learning strategies, so we design a program as unique as your child. The programs are personalized and aimed at identified gaps. Our goal is to strengthen existing skills and help your child acquire new, more advanced skills. Each program is based on the Ontario curriculum and delivered by certified teachers, who provide personal attention in a positive and supportive environment

Technology Resources

Children are digital explorers. Many have been swiping screens and tapping on keyboards from a young age. When you come to IVY ED, your child will interact with great tutors and the latest technology.

At IVY ED, we strive to ensure that our students are exposed to the latest technology to help them along their educational journey. From using iPads as teaching tools, to Chromebooks and laptops for research and homework assistance, to providing a personalized report to follow your child’s progress, we take engagement in learning to a new level.

While digital tools can never replace a teacher in a child’s learning journey, they can accelerate it. At IVY ED we use technology to achieve the following goals:

Create greater interaction between a tutor and child

Keep your child engaged, focused and inspired

Accelerate your child’s skill mastery

Keep you informed and involved every step of the way.
